MosulEye also confirmed that IS militants were using some university buildings, and that the coalition strikes had managed to kill dozens of the terror group's fighters. Classes, the activist group said, were not in session when the bombs fell.

Chris Woods, the director of Airwars.org, a UK-based organization that tracks civilian casualties in Iraq and Syria, called the weekend bombing "ferocious" and "horrific."

"You can see in the videos that the destruction is almost absolute," he remarked, noting that the strike was one of the most brutal his organization had ever documented. "We have never seen anything like this in 18 months, and we have looked at thousands and thousands of photos and videos across both Iraq and Syria."

More to the point, Europe was uncomfortable asking its Muslim communities to assimilate. European leaders felt that would be too reminiscent of the colonial era. Their guilt and newfound “enlightenment” guided them to leave these people to their communities, culture, and religion. At the same time, however, they also ostracized them. What resulted was tight-knit majority-Muslim enclaves often on the outskirts of major European cities (like Saint Denis on the outer edge of Paris, where one of the Paris attackers was found).

They are loyal, at best, to the local Muslim community with whom they share a sense of solidarity, or in its worst manifestations, to ISIS and its global sense of destiny.
These communities are volatile places that are not dissimilar, in some ways, to certain American inner cities. They remain close-knit via shared language, Arabic, shared religion, Islam, and a continued influx of immigration from their countries of origin. This is no longer just family reunification. It is common, for example, for second- and third-generation North African immigrants to look to their ancestral home for a spouse. This is most common among men. They want a woman uncorrupted by European values. These marriage practices keep a continuous supply of first-generation mothers having second-generation children.

These problems have now come home to roost. Europe has on its hands millions of Muslims, many of whom, although certainly not all, identify first as Muslims and second as Europeans. They are loyal, at best, to the local Muslim community with whom they share a sense of solidarity, or in its worst manifestations, to ISIS and its global sense of destiny. This manifests itself in its most extreme in attacking the great evil that is the West—even if it has been their home for their entire life. But, as has played out in the last few months, it is also manifesting itself in a large community of people willing to aid and abet terrorist networks in Europe.

We are not Belgium. We did not invite these folks in to do the grunt labor work after we killed off the young folk in WWII like they did. We do not have 50% unemployment in our muslim ghettos, and a rejection of Merkin values like they do. We don't have only 22 non-whites out of a few thousand police. We don't have Belgium's shit-tacular intelligence folks, we're not a country paralyzed by bickering between the Flemish and the Walloons, Etc.

Different problems require different solutions.

Obama, the Hilldemon, and other assorted libs first response to Islamofascist attacks is always to prattle about our "values", raising the false flag of racism by the people being victimized, and to set up the straw man argument that we can't fight the world's 1.6 billion muslims.

I hate to use the term world leader and Trump in the same sentence but he's the only major person on the world stage who's confronting the issue directly. His prescriptions might be stupid but are they more stupid than Merkel's with her resettlement of 1,000,000 unvetted people who come directly from the heart of the enemy's territory?

Two world views are contributing to the destruction of Europe and the west. First, Islamism and second the Progressive catechism is so invested in diversity, colonial guilt, fear of racism, and lack of love for their own culture, that they'd rather sacrifice their culture and their lives than initiate prudent immigration policies.

The citizenry know that the deaths in these unending horrific attacks are an accepted collateral damage of their leaders' policies. Trump is a relatively benign US response to the Progressive religion of diversity at all costs. What comes out of Europe could be much worse.

... know that their president is a liar or a fool (or both) for his refusal to even utter the "I" word.

Washington (CNN)In a move to stop what the U.S. military said was an imminent threat against U.S. troops and African peacekeeping forces in Somalia, a U.S. strike in Somalia killed as many as 150 suspected Al-Shabaab fighters, the Pentagon said Monday....a U.S. official told CNN that the Al-Shabaab fighters were standing outside in military formation when the strike occurred.

But the left has fallen off the edge of its "acceptance" culture.

A disgusting, scourge of violence and subjugation, migrating to every corner of the globe through devine-commanded fear and ownership?

No. No tolerance. None.

Make no mistake: it's going to come down to civilization or Abrahamic religion. The left is far too willing to let themselves be ignorant victims, in the name of all things PC.

And they're too fucking stupid to see it.
